Harrumph!
I wouldn't call the Swiss Guards "clowns". The whole reason why the Swiss were chosen as the personal army of the Pope was because the Swiss, like the Scots, were well-known for their fighting abilities and served as mercenaries in a number of armies.

I'm not a fan of Wikipedia, but their article on the Swiss Guard does a pretty good job in summing up their history:
